FROM BLYTH -
On Friday, June 2 47 diners
enjoyed the monthly meal hosted by
Town and Country Homemakers at
Trinity Anglican Church. Special
guest was Jean Young, the director
for the Homemakers.
Susan Armstrong, co-ordinator,
read a poem.
A meal of beef Stroganoff, mashed
potatoes, asparagus, green and yel
low beans, a layered salad and dinner
rolls was served. This was topped off
with delicious rhubarb crisp with ice
cream.
Three students assisted, Melissa
Black, Alisha Marshall, and Scott
Armstrong. Susan’s youngest son did
ah excellent job helping with the
meal.
A special welcome went out to
Jean Nethery and Elsie Walsh of
Blyth. Also attending was Anna
Lowey, Margaret Radford (formally
from Blyth) and Charlene Foxton of
the Seaforth Manor Nursing Home.
This month Janet Lawrie was the
winner of the 50/50 draw, while
Marian Haggitt of Auburn was the
recipient of the door prize.
June birthdays were Margaret
Radford and Dorothy Daer. The
guest speaker was Paul Steckle,
Federal Member of Parliament for
Huron and Bruce. Paul had previous
ly been on the board for Town and
Throwing the game
It was a great day for Blyth Lions and their supporters on Saturday for their horseshoe tourna
ment. The fundraising day ended with a pork chop barbecue in the park. (Vicky Bremner photo)
Country Homemakers.
He thanked the students for being
involved and stressed that down the
road they would realize just how
important volunteer work is. He then
spoke on the tragedy in Walkerton.
Also he spoke of the event earlier
this week where a war veteran’s cof
fin was returned from overseas to
Ottawa.
Steckle talked about his role in
Parliament. Politicians are expected
to be wherever needed. Of course,
events often clash, so it is then a mat
ter of priority.
Sometimes it is a case of the loca
tion - if he had previously been there
for another event, then the area
where he has not been for some time
is where he goes.
Resolutions are to create laws for
something specific. Two that recent
ly came up concerned animal rights
and same sex benefits. Although the
Liberals voted in favour of equal
rights for same sex couples, Paul
stood his ground and opposed it.
He also talked about firearms,
stressing that safety is the important
element. Gun use for the wrong rea
son is similar to a locked door: it
only keeps an honest person out.
Not all problems are for the feder
al government to deal with.
Sometimes it lies in the hands of the
provine, county or municipalities
He spoke about Blyth, specifically
the hockey teams which have cap
tured the All-Ontario title over the
past three years.
Jack Riddell was here on Paul’s
behalf earlier this year.
Also, he said, the topic of Blyth
Theatre’s success has been noted in
Ottawa.
The next Diners’ meal and enter
tainment will be on July 7.
On June l, Blyth Legion, Brapch
420 made the raffle draw. The win
ner is Don Elliott, the new owner of
a 27" Zenith television.
Congratulations Don!
KATHY’S QUOTE OF THE
WEEK: Anybody who thinks that
money grows on trees will sooner or
later be caught out on a limb.
